Yeah it's the same crazy who was weird when I moved. Come to think of it she DID totally just show up to "help" that day without being asked and without telling me she was coming...now I wonder if she just wanted an excuse to get a good view of where and how I keep my rabbits. :x Kind of a scary thought.
I always hate seeing a matted dog on my table...but I do get a sense of accomplishment once they're shaved down. It's like a magical transformation sometimes...a quivering, miserable dog that won't even look at you when they are matted because they are in so much discomfort...and once they get naked, they're just SO HAPPY, wagging and wiggling and overjoyed.
I just don't get how people can let them get like that. I mean, how can you live with an animal and not see what is happening?! My goofball Persian cat is a playful thing, once in a while I come home to find she's splashed through her water bowl and as a result has proto-matting. It takes like two seconds to brush her. Because I do it often, she's really good for it.
Once when I was gone for a month, my cat-sitter didn't brush her once...I came home to mildly matted trousers and some tangling in her mane. Ten minutes and she was right as rain. I see these poor creatures matted to the bone, where it's like shearing a sheep and the coat comes off in one piece and I wonder, how the heck long has THIS been going on???
But anyways.
Yes, Carebear, she IS vindictive. She's proud of that, claims it's because she's a Virgo. :roll: I've known her for over a decade, she doesn't like to let things go.
When we were first friends, I don't know how but she had no idea I'm a deerhunter. I hunt. I process and eat what I kill, I butcher myself because the local processors 1.) cost money and 2.) they throw away "trash meat" that I can and do use. One day back in high school (oh my god now I feel old) my dad bought me a combo license as a gift, I think it was a reward for a good test grade or something, I don't remember exactly why. But I was jazzed!!! That meant an essentially FREE hunt!!! I don't recall how it came up (maybe "hey wanna catch a movie this weekend" "Sorry can't, will be hunting") but she FREAKED. Called me some horrible names, and stormed off.
Two weeks later she called me and said that if I could just never talk to her about hunting she'd "overlook" it. Since I have a crazy cousin like that (she's far crazier than this gal, if you can believe it) it didn't seem an unreasonable request.
I've never understood people and their hangups about cruelty-free meat, be it raised or hunted.
And this gal eats meat so she's a bloody freaking hypocrite IMO.
My crazy cousin is a vegetarian at least, lol.
My ex girlfriend was a vegetarian, but she had no problem with meat consumption. She helped me cut up a deer haunch once. She simply declared when asked about it, that in her oppinion, if you can't kill it yourself you shouldn't eat it...and since she didn't feel comfortable harvesting an animal, she decided not to eat meat.
I like her take on the whole "eating rabbits" thing.
She was fine with it! It was just in almost EVERY OTHER WAY IMAGINABLE that she was crazy...borderline stalking me for a while there. Creepy.
Gods I have some creepy, scary people in my life.
